Usually not. The composite catalyst filter removes odors (and ozone and TVOCs) from the air, and it's reusable.
How do I refresh it?
If you notice odors from the purifier, take the catalyst filter out and leave it in direct sunlight for about 1 to 2 hours. The sun's UV refreshes it. Don't wash it with water. Then put it back in, and you're done.
When would I replace it?
Some people who are very sensitive to smells choose to replace the catalyst filter every 6 to 24 months. It's a small cost compared with HEPA filters. You can order a Composite Catalyst Filter (from $29) here: https://airdogusa.com/products/composite-catalyst-filter
